If networked, you will need to configure the options for all the units. At the top of the window, select the tab for each TalkSwitch units (labeled ‘TalkSwitch 1’, ‘TalkSwitch 2’, etc...) and follow the instructions below.
In the “Phone numbers” section:
Enter the ‘main’ telephone number for the appropriate line connected to TalkSwitch. Enable the Distinctive Ring Numbers 1 and/or 2 if you have this service on the current line and wish to have incoming calls handled ‘differently’ on the basis of the distinctive ring. If you want Distinctive Ring numbers handled the same way as your ‘Main’ number, do not place a check mark in the box.
Next, enter the ‘Distinctive Ring’ telephone number for each of the Distinctive Ring numbers associated to this line. Distinctive Ring 1 corresponds to any double ring pattern. Distinctive Ring 2 corresponds to any triple ring pattern.
In the “Telephone company services” section:
Select any of the Telephone Company Services that you currently have for each line. The following is an explanation of each service and the impact of selecting each option on how TalkSwitch handles calls.
